Many years ago, I restored the engine tin & 1.7 air cleaner.
Thought it would be fairly easy to find a vendor supplying a rough rubber-based paint stamp for the engine tin numers, as well as someone to reproduce the air cleaner text. Adter 2 years, I've struck out! Did find one company that could reproduce the air cleaner text in decal format - for 300 bucks! No help on the tin code. So.....am I being anal about these things, or do some of you have other ideas? I saw what Naberhaus had hand-painted on his tin. Too perfect! The engine tin number needs to be rough-stamped & a little sloppy. The air cleaner script needs to be highly detailed. Anyone else dealt with this/these? Pat |

Pat, I have done the engine tin numbers. I had a rubber stamp made, used white enamel paint...smushed it on like hans would have done in Osnabrueck and the results are excellent. Two stamps $35. I would send you my stamp, but my numbers are different than you need.
On the air cleaner label, your best bet is to keep looking for a nice original, unless George has new labels. |

Jeff, where did you have a stamp made? Any houses I've checked in my area look at me like a doe in headlights! I HAVE a pristine air cleaner top, but ii's so glopped up (filter) that I doubt that it can be cleaned internally. Suggestions? Pat |
